As soon as the shield array was set up, Di Qin's arrows rained down.
"Be careful to avoid!"
Wang Mi shouted loudly and retreated to the rear of the battle formation under the protection of Tan Pingzhi. Since it was a temporary attack and time was short, the Jin army did not even have a decent military tent.
Although Wang Mi was wearing armor, his lack of martial arts skills was his biggest shortcoming. Therefore, both Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi were very worried about him.
Always devote your energy to protecting him.
"So, you are here to fight, not to see the children!"
"Hurry and go to the slave slave, I can take care of myself, you don't need to worry about it!"
"Yes, based on this, it's enough for Xiaolang to have my protection. You hurry up and support the slave."
Duan Xian came forward with both hands, obviously very dissatisfied.
Doesn't he exist in this army?
It's so unreasonable for these people to want to steal his job even though there is a big living person like him, Duan Xian, here!
Ever since the expedition to Fort Victory, Duan Xian had felt vaguely unhappy.
Seeing Duan Xian's flushed face, Tan Ping suddenly felt that it made sense, and that seemed to be what happened.
He quickly led the team to meet Liu Yu.
"Remember to use the crossbow!" Wang Mi shouted.
Speaking of crossbows, Wang Mi also prepared a lot, but this time, he did not send crossbowmen. The reason cannot be said now.
"Zhiyuan, can we start to attack the city?" Before the battle was fully launched, Yunhui General Liu Yu, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry, couldn't bear the loneliness and came to Wang Mi's side to discuss the next step.
strategy.
Mainly to find something for himself to do.
Wang Mi was sitting on the chariot, and beside him was Ms. Shen Suanzi, who seemed a little disgusted with him. When she saw Wang Mi sit down, she didn't say anything, she just moved to the other side.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. For Shen Suanzi, the most important thing now is to fill his stomach first.
"Send slaves, attack the city now?" Wang Mi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Liu Yu's idea to be so simple and direct.
"Yes, now is a good time."
"While the Di Qin army doesn't react, maybe we can capture the city!"
The spear in his hand was raised, Liu Yu was full of confidence.
"Not to mention others, I can kill twenty of them by myself!"
Liu Yu's desire to attack the city was not based on nonsense, but based on his confidence in his own ability. As far as he knew, none of the Beifu soldiers were cowards, and their individual combat effectiveness was not bad.
As we all know, siege can only be based on infantry. Since everyone is here, we can't just attack outside Xiangyang City and leave the city uncaptured. When daybreak, everything will be too late.
Wang Mi nodded: "Jinnu, you can fight not only twenty of them by yourself, but also thirty of them."
However, I still can't let you go.
"Jinnu, we only have ten thousand troops now, and among these ten thousand people, there are still almost half of the citizens of Victory Fort. Don't forget that the combat effectiveness of the fortress residents cannot be compared with that of the regular army."
"And it is roughly estimated that there are 100,000 Qin soldiers in the city."
"It's 130,000."
Before Wang Mi finished speaking, Shen Suanzi interrupted.
Wang Mi nodded. With this precise number, he could support his point of view.
"Ji Nu, we must not act rashly before the large army arrives."
"However, our manpower is limited. If we don't take the initiative at this time, we won't be able to delay it for long."
"Putting everything else aside for now, won't we reveal our true colors as soon as daybreak comes?"
It turned out that Liu Yu wanted to make a time difference and seize the initiative.
Such a strategy is indeed in line with his adventurous personality.
However……
"Jinu, our top priority now is to eliminate more Qin troops, rather than rushing to mobilize the army in the city to eliminate us."
With just one sentence, Liu Yu choked and was speechless.
He seemed unable to refute.
The Qin army in the city is not dead. If Fu Rui is forced to panic and releases the Di Qin cavalry, the Beifu soldiers will be in misery.
After all, we have many families.
"Zhiyuan, as long as I can fight on the battlefield, I'll do anything, I'm willing to do it!"
Liu Yu still refused to give up. It was no wonder that he had such a strong fighting spirit, passion, and skills. When he arrived on the battlefield, he didn't look like a greedy cat.
Wang Mi stood up and sighed, feeling that his hands were still itchy.
"Slave, when it's your turn to play, I will never forget you. If the opportunity is right, why wouldn't I want to lead the troops?"
"If you are really busy, go and help Peng Ping. He is commanding Team Rocket."
Team Rocket?
Are you planning to do it again?
Liu Yu rushed to Tan Pingzhi with questions.
Unlike Liu Yu, who was depressed and frustrated, Tan Pingzhi in the corner in front was commanding calmly and with a rainbow-like momentum.
Tan Ping was good at using bows and crossbows, but his machine crossbow had limited arrows. When he just made a surprise attack and returned, he used almost the same number.
Due to the limitations of the shape of the machine, even the crossbow arrows for the machine crossbow were specially made by Tan Pingzhi, and there was no corresponding reserve among the Beifu soldiers.
When Lao Tan was anxious and didn't know how to use his strength, Wang Mi assigned him this task.
hey-hey!
Just right!
As soon as Tan Ping was in place, he immediately began to arrange the positions of the archers.
Like regular archers, rocketeers also need cover.
However, facing the Xiangyang City Wall, which is more than ten feet high, it seems impossible to succeed simply by relying on rocket launchers to attack.
This place is no different than the return area. It is empty and unobstructed. Rockets can easily pass through obstacles and ignite the target.
The walls of Xiangyang City are made of solid stone bricks. How can arrows penetrate them?
There is no reason not to use a magical weapon like the rocket.
However, how to use it did pose a problem for Tan Pingzhi.
He really couldn't imagine a good way for archers to launch rockets directly into the city.
Bows and arrows are different from stone cannons. Without the force of throwing, rockets cannot be thrown high or far.
Until Liu Yulai joined him, Tan Pingzhi was still staring at the rockets scattered on the ground, unable to do anything.
Seeing that the offensive of the Di Qin archers in the city became more and more fierce, the more anxious he became, the less he could think of a good solution.
"For that reason, why haven't you fired the arrow yet?"
Right in front of Liu Yu's eyes, dozens of Beifu soldiers had fallen to the ground with arrows. If they had the support of rockets, they might not have died.
"Jinnu, the rocket can't hit it!" Pingzhi said anxiously.
He watched the situation on the towers of Xiangyang City from time to time, and did not give up. He always wanted to find a good solution on his own.
"Wouldn't it be solved if we stood taller?"
Liu Yu's simple words were like a heavy hammer, which immediately knocked open Tan Pingzhi's big head!
"Stand taller?"
"right!"
"Where to stop?"
The rain of arrows above his head was still falling hard, and the shield hand was also injured from time to time. When a shield hand fell, the people around him immediately grabbed his shield.
The combined weight of the two shields was no less than a heavy crossbow, which was extremely heavy. However, the soldiers still persisted until the shield bearers at the rear could replenish their weight.
Nowadays, Tan Pingzhi, Liu Yu and others, who cannot ride horses, are squatting behind such a shield formation, relying on the protection of their comrades to discuss countermeasures.
